Today I'm joined by one of the most inspiring humans on earth, self-proclaimed professional patient Derek Fitzgerald. After years of severe health struggles, Derek became the only person ever to finish a full distance Ironman after surviving both cancer and a heart transplant, so we’ll take a deep dive into overcoming life’s biggest struggles, dealing with pain, and never giving up!

Best ideas:

How to deal with life’s biggest tragedies: Imagine having a crystal ball telling you you’ll die tonight, how would you respond? Hide under your covers and forget about everything, or go out and live this day as the most epic day possible? As Derek says, none of us are given any guarantee that we’ll survive until tomorrow, so the best way to live life is by enjoying each day as if it were your last.

At the same time, what would it be like to experience life for the first time, like a little child? Your first sunrise? First kiss? First smile? First opportunity to do something great? How different would you experience life?
